Extraordinary savings in water consumption: By removing the flooding method and replacing it with precise irrigation on nylon, water consumption is reduced by 50 to 70%. This is a big competitive advantage in drought and water shortage years.
Complete weed control: Irrigation nylons prevent weeds from germinating and growing on the soil surface by blocking sunlight. This means eliminating expensive spraying and labor costs for ginning.
Increased soil temperature and faster growth: Dark nylons (usually black) absorb the sun's heat and keep the soil temperature at optimum levels. Rice is a heat-loving plant, and increasing the soil temperature causes faster seedling growth and an increase in the final yield.
Prevention of leaching of fertilizers: With drip irrigation under nylon, chemical fertilizers are directed directly to the root zone and are not washed away. This greatly increases the efficiency of fertilizer use.
Higher quality of rice grain: Rice that grows in a clean bed without direct contact with flooded mud has cleaner, firmer and more marketable grains.
